To celebrate the centennial of Bryce Canyon National Park, a historic service station opened after World War II that holds extra special memories for one Utah couple was restored.
Mervin Barnhurst was the former manager of the service station and worked there shortly after it opened.
"With the resuming of tourist travel after the war, they saw automobile use just skyrocketing," Peter Densmore, spokesperson for Bryce Canyon said. "I just went to dinner and she waited my table and she, I knew the minute I saw her," Barhurst said."I had a brand new, Chevy Chevelle I bought this before I moved out there. So it made an impression."
Six kids and many grandkids later, the Barnhursts are still together, living at the nearby Garfield County Nursing home, more in love than ever before.
